Notices for Customer
Installed Equipment
Read the following notices before
installing equipment on your
specialty vehicle.
Notice:GM-approved service
procedures must be followed to
remove and reinstall the
instrument panel to the pad in
order to ensure proper airbag
deployment. Notice:
Do not mount equipment
on the passenger side of the
instrument panel top pad
deployment zone. Equipment
should not be mounted on or
around the passenger airbag
opening because of a deploying
airbag. To allow the airbag to
perform as it was designed, do
not mount equipment inside the
airbag deployment zone.
Notice: The police vehicle has
roof-rail airbags. Do not mount a
security barrier such that the
ends of the barrier or brackets
are within the roof-rail
deployment zones. Notice:
The police vehicle has
roof-rail airbags and a rollover
sensor. The rollover sensor is
mounted on the centerline of the
vehicle between the driver and
right front passenger positions.
If the vehicle has bucket seats,
the rollover sensor will be
exposed. Do not mount
equipment within 25 mm (1 in) of
the rollover sensor. This may
affect the performance of the
airbag system. To allow the
airbags to perform as they are
designed, do not mount
equipment near this area.
Notice: Avoid installing wiring for
roof-rail emergency lighting or
radio antennas that may restrict
the proper deployment of the
roof-rail airbags.
